Useless App
Could not see more than one recipe. Could not add the one recipe to my planner or ingredients from that recipe onto the shopping list. What’s the point of this app if nothing it claims to do does anything?
Disappointed
I desperately wanted to like this app, but it’s got too many bugs. It doesn’t confirm my email address, I can’t transfer my grocery list to any other apps, I can’t share my list with my partner (it won’t let me cause it doesn’t recognize my email), and it misses some of the recipe items on the grocery list (I had bean quesadillas on my meal plan but the red kidney beans were not added to the grocery list). I also have to double check the names of many of the items on the menu because we say it differently in Canada vs Australia. I really wanted this to work. If they spend more time updating the app I will happily return to it.

It was great, but zero support once it failed
I used it regularly as my sole meal planning tool for five years. Then all of the recipes that came with the app disappeared (the recipes I entered are still there). My attempts at contact for tech support went unanswered.
Really disappointing for a paid app that is still active.

Disconnect with book & Like the calendar function.
I was expecting to find all the recipes in the companion book I bought ‘The Ultimate Meal Prep Cookbook’ in the app. Sadly I need to carry the book around the supermarket as there is seemingly no cross over. This could be easily fixed without changing a line of code. If one day recipes from book are also in the app I’d really like to be able to load whole ‘week plans’ from the book into the app.
I do like the calendar function in the app - adding chosen recipes automatically. Now off to share my calendar with family.

Disappointing
Literally have never been able to use the app. It crashes out of the app every time you touch an option. I’ve updated and even changed phones but still no joy. Nice little money spinner for the app owner but big waste of mine!
Love love love it
This is brilliant, just what I needed. My suggestions to improve are:
a link to export shopping list to Woolies online shop (csiro app does this, so it’s doable)
An export shopping list by sms function
Some budget /spend tracking
I’d happily pay extra for these features
But I love it as is

Needs some tweaks... then amazing
I really love the book and app... but for the app to really be useful I would love to be able to photograph my existing family recipes rather than typing them in (knowing that this would not allow them to be scaled up)
Not crash every time I try and upload a screenshot
Allow you to create a pantry staples list and add to your shopping list.

Very disappointing
The app crashes constantly. No recipes can be accessed. Terrible. Feeling cheated!!
App crashes
Great idea and love the book. App constantly crashes and is practically unusable.
Would love the issues to be sorted.

Fantastic idea
I came to this app from the ‘Plan Buy Cook’ book! Fantastic book, I recommend it to everyone looking for great recipes and phenomenal management of dinners each night! However, it recommended this app and unfortunately it just does not seem to work and crashes constantly! Which is a bummer as this would be so helpful! Fingers crossed an update promptly fixes the issues being run into by so many!! 😁

Always crashes
Will let me add a recipe to the day in the planner, but whenever I try to edit it, it crashes and nothing is saved when I open it. Super disappointing.
Good App but needs further work
I just purchased the App after the getting the book. I was hoping the App would have a ‘Food bank’ list you could add food bank items too. This would also keep track of what meals are in my freezer, what options there are and if I need to ‘top up’ my food banked items at any stage. Can you please add this feature?? Thanks :)

Great App
I recently bought the app despite the many negative reviews and it’s working fine for me. Meal planning and creating a shopping list is simple and easy to do. Well worth it.
Difficult to use
This app is very difficult to use and not worth the money.
Feeling sad
I bought this app after reading reviews so I was being optimistic that the bugs would be fixed. Sadly it won’t load and It shuts it self down. I haven’t been able to use it... any tips on how to make this work?
No recipe additions
It says you can enter your own recipes. But you can’t. Waste of my money.
Love, but......
On my phone iPhone8 it keeps crashing loads then my phone exits. Please fix can’t use if It crashes.
No good
Wish I could get a refund on this app. It doesn’t import recipes from other websites and doesn’t automatically synch groceries from recipes. It’s time consuming to enter data into. Thumbs down!
Disappointing
Too many bugs. This app looked like it was going to simplify our meal planning and cooking, but it’s too unreliable.
Pretty but some limitations on functions causing frustrations
Starting to use this app for meal planning
Initially buy function was working - not crashing out of app when touch the “buy” tab. Very frustrating. Have spent many hours trying to set up meal planning with the app, think I might now abandon it.
Attractive interface but some practical limitations that the developers might be able to look at:
- don’t seem to be able to share my entries or plans with my partner which significantly limits the usefulness of the app
- Should be able to enter more than 3 “meals” a day; veggies take one entry, desserts another, this doesn’t allow for planning to make bulk meals on weekends.
- Recipes should be crowd sourced. They are time consuming to enter, if I knew that I was contributing to others and benefiting from theirs that would be a sweetener on the time. Developers could have a review function without taking responsibility for the recipes.
- Should have an option between the images of the recipes and a list. The pictures are good if you are browsing but if there are a lot of recipes it’s tedious to scroll to find the one you want without using the search function.
- cost function on the shopping list would be a fantastic further development, as would the ability to import the shopping list into an online supermarket shop.
- should be able to print the shopping list directly from the app without emailing it
